Why do blank copies of Numbers files retain the size of the original file?

I made a copy of my budget file but cleared all the data so I could e-mail it to a friend.  Although the spreadsheets are empty, the file is still too large to e-mail.  What is wrong?

In addition to Jerry's note, I would suspect that the actual data in a spreadsheet, which is basically a text file, is very small compared to the formatting and structure, which you presumably retained. If your document contains unused table styles, removing them might save some space.
It is also worth noting that deleting some kinds of objects does not immediately remove them from the document file. I've observed this specifically with regards to images, which are stored in the document bundle separately from the main index file. I suspect that they are retained after deletion because iWork applications can undo past saves, as long as the document is kept open. As such, it appears to take a couple of Close and Reopen cycles to "flush" this undo content. I would expect Jerry's recommendation of Duplicate would also help with this.

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

  • Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?

I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

    Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
    I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
    It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
    So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
    I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
    I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

  • Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?

    I am organizing my library of stock video footage so is easily view (show to clients) and access. I need advice for two things:
    First: What is a good program to catalog footage in? I am considering using iTunes because I already have it and I could setup smart folders to easily organize footage.
    Second: I would like to encode all the footage to h.264 so I can preview it in Quicktime and add it to an iTunes library. My problem is all the footage is in a wide variety of dimensions, formats, framerates, strange codecs etc. I have access to Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?
    I have tried using a watch folder in AME but it freezes every time I add the folder...
    Thanks for any help!

    Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

    You can't change the way Pages import .doc files.
    It was never written that it reproduce exactly the original one.
    From my point of view, as I refuse to give a cent to M...soft, the best way to deal with documents issued by their Office suite is to use the free libreOffice.

  • How do I retain the original HD standards after editing with iMovie ?

    Hello,
    I have a camcorder that uses AVCHD. The image size is 1080 x 1440 and the audio codec is Dolby Digital at 448 kbps.
    I can import these movies in to iMovie with no problem at all, likewise I can edit them and make a project.
    However, when it come to sharing or publishing the project, the highest quality option I have is 'Apple TV' at a resolution of 960x540 with the sound being linear PCM stereo.
    Is it possible to retain the original frame size of 1080 x 1440 with the original audio codec of Dolby Digital at 448 kbps ?

    Well, being honest, I don't know that I need this. I was thinking that if I retain the original file size I would retain the quality.
    I plan to store my finished project not on DVD but on my PS3 which has an external drive to hold my home movies.
    When I view the original files in the 'raw' AVCHD format on the PS3 the image is ever so slightly better and I get to use the Dolby Digital soundtrack.
    When I view my finished iMovie projects the frame size
    (but not the picture) is reduced and this seems to be causing some very slight judder during panning shots. Also the soundtrack is just linear PCM.
    I was theorising, that by retaining the original settings I would remove the slight judder and get to keep the digital soundtrack.
    Is this the right approach ? or is something else causing these two issues ?

  • How can I retain the original quality of a photo when sending it by email.At the moment if I drag them in to the email from iphoto the image quality reduces.

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    How can I retain the original quality.
    Philip

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    Philip, dragging from iPhoto will export previews of the image, not the original high resolution image. To export higher quality versions from iPhoto don't drag, but use "File > Export"
    You can also mail your photo directly from within iPhoto using "Share > Email" and set the "Size" to "Actual Size (Full Quality)"

    If she simply updated the AppleID (not created a new one with a new email address), log out then log back into iTunes store.

  • Is there a way to retain the original date after editing?

    I am using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro, OS X (10.3). I have a lot of old pictures to edit, and they are in date order, which is how I want them.
    However, when I edit a picture and save it, it moves it to the bottom, with today's date instead of the original date.  I have them set to save with the original as a version set.
    Is there any way to retain the orignal dates, short of having to go in and reset the date on every picture after I save it?  I really want them to be in date order under their original dates.
    BTW, I used earlier versions that were Windows-based, and this didn't happen.  When I saved them, the version sets stayed where they were.
    This is really frustrating!

    I'd like an answer to this too.

    The 'date taken' is never changed by editing a picture.
